There’s a Slick New Must-Have Apple Accessory

Apple quietly launched a new accessory just in time for the holiday shopping season: An Apple Watch dock.

The “Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock” appeared on Apple’s online store Wednesday. The device lets Apple Watch owners either lay their smartwatch flat or propped up on its side while charging. It should be available in Apple retail stores later this week.

After a recent software upgrade, an Apple Watch that’s charging while laying sideways will enter “nightstand mode,” in which it displays the time, date, alarm settings and charge status in an easy-to-read green font.

At $79, the new Apple Watch dock looks like it would make the perfect stocking stuffer for that Apple fanatic in your life.
